Contrary to a few of the Blackout 505 road tour that was held previously, the numbers of Chinese participant in the grand finale of the Blackout 505 rally last Saturday was utterly disappointing.
It was reported that only 4% of Chinese were present at the rally that was attended by 10,000 to 30,000 people.
What worse is the participation of Indians that is less than 1%.
DAP needs to set the records straight as a party who are representing the Chinese community. Lim Kit Siang as the DAP advisor / emperor need to explain to other Pakatan Rakyat leaders how this atrocities could have happened?
Is it true that before this the Chinese was not satisfied with Anwar’s promise after the Chinese had given the Pakatan Rakyat 97% of their votes on the last general election but still the opposition coalition failed to secure enough seats for them to take over Putrajaya?
Is it the main reason for them not to attend last Saturday’s rally? Or it is because of the haze? We could never accept such excuse from DAP, as they were the ones who coined up the motto “lawan tetap lawan” which means the fight will go on. With a fierce motto like that, don’t you think a small hurdle such as the haze would be no problem for them?
In addition to that, Kit Siang’s and also DAP’s prodigal son Guan Eng did not show up at the rally. Previously they were bragging that this particular rally shall be recorded in history as the biggest rally of all time. But sadly, it won’t even make it to next week gossip column in their own pro-opposition newspaper.
The sad thing is, the rally has become a weak spot for Pakatan Rakyat. It is not a record breaking event, it is a DISASTER!
Looking at the current situation, we can conclude that the commitment of PR leaders on their version of democracy has dwindled. Their faith in the Pakatan Rakyat has faded, and it is a matter of time before they start to wrestle each other for power.
Maybe they are some Pakatan Rakyat leaders who are so distracted with their new found power as a MP or as an ADUN that they have forgotten their wayward ways of going to the streets and bickering with enforcement agencies. Or maybe the people (or Rakyat as they love to call it) are only a stepping stone for them to get their title as YBs.
What is worst is that, when dozens of Pakatan Rakyat supporters were stuffed inside a jail cell for trying to rammed the entrance of the parliament, their leaders who had won the election are cosily sipping a cup of tea with the Prime Minister of Malaysia that they hate. Just imagine that some of the supporters were lying in the middle of the streets while Anwar Ibrahim was trading funny stories with Najib Razak, a man that they consider as a mortal enemy.
We are not angry that they are comfortable with the hospitality of the Federal Government in the Parliament, but as a leader of a revolution/reformation/change, at least they have to respect those who are fighting for the ideas that they have planted in their supporter’s head. Elected representatives of the Pakatan Rakyat need to understand that they are seated comfortably in the parliament because of these people. It is wise for them to at least acknowledge these people's actions.
